Four Decades of Educational ExcellenceMy Dear Students and Parents,

MIT-WPU, with its legacy of four decades of association with industries/universities of repute around the world, encourages its students to undertake an International Immersion. This tour, featuring visits to the best of the universities in the UK, Europe and Asia, will ensure that the students are enriched with unmatched learning by gaining exposure in terms of subject-wise knowledge; practical experience in foreign laboratories; discussions with highly acclaimed professors; in addition to developing a network of future global professional colleagues in multiple cultural environments.

This tour is planned with subsidy from MIT-WPU which will facilitate all the logistics needed for the tour. Since this is a popular choice with more than 1000 MIT-WPU students having already gone through international immersion in 2019 alone, the costs involved are bare minimum due to large numbers. Further, it will not be possible to undertake this tour at this cost for any individual. No other university has embarked upon an exercise of this magnitude like MIT-WPU which wants to distribute its longstanding international benefits to students.

Though designed as an optional tour, considering the global exposure that the student gets which employers are looking for and giving a weightage increasing employment prospects, every student must undertake this International Immersion. This program has become popular with MIT-WPU students as it helps them in many ways, including the final placements.

I would strongly urge all the students of MIT-WPU to opt for this program which will help you evolve as a world citizen coming out from MIT World Peace University. All the best to you.

- Dr. N. T. Rao. Vice Chancellor, MIT-WPU
